In the deep reaches of space, small, isolated satellites blown far off their planetary orbit by some fluke or miscalculation send out transmissions. No, not transmissions; They sing praises. Praises to a strange empire following alien gods and even more bizarre ideals. Aiming to be this galaxy's newest and truest demi-democratic, technocratic republic, the Helios Technocracy has seeded these communication satellites over many a world in the hopes that some might listen. One of these messengers crosses your ship's path, and should you accept the hail, your speakers resound with synthetic and pre-programmed exultation. ## BEGIN TRANSMISSION ## (symbol of the Technocracy appears, rotating slowly) View attachment 750 The Helios Technocracy Table of contents. 1 Intro 2 Governing entities and their respective sub-divisions a.

Post-amble The previous shall form the basis for all law to be passed on, all laws shall be voted in by a council majority, or comply with formal logic consistent with moral and ethical standards set forth by ancient Greek philosophers. Laws found as a result of formal reasoning need not be voted in as they shall be assumed to exist, written or not. Those who agree to the ideals stated within may join the Technocracy to serve in what capacity they may, a capacity which is subject to scrutiny by the council, the High Technomage, and the XM1A's Alpha and Omega. Once a position is decided, it cannot be undone or countermanded with anything less than an appeal to and approval of the High Technomage. GOVERNING ENTITIES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUB-DIVISIONS High Technocracy: <The members of the High Council are called Lords. They form the governing class, the creators of law. They seek to thoroughly look over all laws and repair them when a flaw is found. A Technocrat also has the power of Judge and Jury, to uphold the laws in whatever ways they deem fit but must still comply with this Codex's laws.> INTRODUCTION THE TECH DEVELOPERS R&D/Industrial Subsidiaries: Daedalus Innovations, <Dedicated to delivering excellent, mass-produced goods, Daedalus Innovations aims to be the top supplier of affordable weapons to small militias and independent owners. While DI does seek to sell military-grade machines to the military, it will attempt to derive most of its funds from low-income worlds seeking to buy affordable equipment.> ## END TRANSMISSION ##
((Can't edit my own post any more? How annoying. I seem to have made some small errors, like the table of contents not having a '2' in there. Pretty sure two comes after one, but before three. Unless my kindergarten teacher did me a grave injustice. Also, they're not called High Technocrats, they're supposed to be called Lords. Meh))
